  • The Osteoderm Microstructure in Doswelliids and Proterochampsids and Its Implications for Palaeobiology of Stem Archosaurs
    The osteoderm microstructure in doswelliids and proterochampsids and its implications for palaeobiology of stem archosaurs DENIS A. PONCE, IGNACIO A. CERDA, JULIA B. DESOJO, and STERLING J. NESBITT Ponce, D.A., Cerda, I.A., Desojo, J.B., and Nesbitt, S.J. 2017. The osteoderm microstructure in doswelliids and proter- ochampsids and its implications for palaeobiology of stem archosaurs. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 62 (4): 819–831. Osteoderms are common in most archosauriform lineages, including basal forms, such as doswelliids and proterochamp- sids. In this survey, osteoderms of the doswelliids Doswellia kaltenbachi and Vancleavea campi, and proterochampsid Chanaresuchus bonapartei are examined to infer their palaeobiology, such as histogenesis, age estimation at death, development of external sculpturing, and palaeoecology. Doswelliid osteoderms have a trilaminar structure: two corti- ces of compact bone (external and basal) that enclose an internal core of cancellous bone. In contrast, Chanaresuchus bonapartei osteoderms are composed of entirely compact bone. The external ornamentation of Doswellia kaltenbachi is primarily formed and maintained by preferential bone growth. Conversely, a complex pattern of resorption and redepo- sition process is inferred in Archeopelta arborensis and Tarjadia ruthae. Vancleavea campi exhibits the highest degree of variation among doswelliids in its histogenesis (metaplasia), density and arrangement of vascularization and lack of sculpturing. The relatively high degree of compactness in the osteoderms of all the examined taxa is congruent with an aquatic or semi-aquatic lifestyle. In general, the osteoderm histology of doswelliids more closely resembles that of phytosaurs and pseudosuchians than that of proterochampsids. Key words: Archosauria, Doswelliidae, Protero champ sidae, palaeoecology, microanatomy, histology, Triassic, USA.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

  • What Is Bone Cancer?
    cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 About Bone Cancer Overview and Types If you have been diagnosed with bone cancer or are worried about it, you likely have a lot of questions. Learning some basics is a good place to start. ● What Is Bone Cancer? Research and Statistics See the latest estimates for new cases of bone cancer and deaths in the US and what research is currently being done. ● Key Statistics About Bone Cancer ● What’s New in Bone Cancer Research? What Is Bone Cancer? The information here focuses on primary bone cancers (cancers that start in bones) that most often are seen in adults. Information on Osteosarcoma1, Ewing Tumors (Ewing sarcomas)2, and Bone Metastases3 is covered separately. Cancer starts when cells begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer, and can then spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. To learn more about cancer and how it starts and spreads, see What Is Cancer?4 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________American Cancer Society cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 Bone cancer is an uncommon type of cancer that begins when cells in the bone start to grow out of control. To understand bone cancer, it helps to know a little about normal bone tissue. Bone is the supporting framework for your body. The hard, outer layer of bones is made of compact (cortical) bone, which covers the lighter spongy (trabecular) bone inside. The outside of the bone is covered with fibrous tissue called periosteum. Some bones have a space inside called the medullary cavity, which contains the soft, spongy tissue called bone marrow(discussed below).

  • Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Treatment of Traumatic Articular Cartilage Defects: a Comprehensive Review Troy D Bornes1,2, Adetola B Adesida1,2* and Nadr M Jomha1,2
    Bornes et al. Arthritis Research & Therapy 2014, 16:432 http://arthritis-research.com/content/16/5/432 REVIEW Mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of traumatic articular cartilage defects: a comprehensive review Troy D Bornes1,2, Adetola B Adesida1,2* and Nadr M Jomha1,2 Abstract Articular cartilage has a limited capacity to repair following injury. Early intervention is required to prevent progression of focal traumatic chondral and osteochondral defects to advanced cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis. Novel cell-based tissue engineering techniques have been proposed with the goal of resurfacing defects with bioengineered tissue that recapitulates the properties of hyaline cartilage and integrates into native tissue. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a promising strategy given the high proliferative capacity of MSCs and their potential to differentiate into cartilage-producing cells - chondrocytes. MSCs are historically harvested through bone marrow aspiration, which does not require invasive surgical intervention or cartilage extraction from other sites as required by other cell-based strategies. Biomaterial matrices are commonly used in conjunction with MSCs to aid cell delivery and support chondrogenic differentiation, functional extracellular matrix formation and three-dimensional tissue development. A number of specific transplantation protocols have successfully resurfaced articular cartilage in animals and humans to date. In the clinical literature, MSC-seeded scaffolds have filled a majority of defects with integrated hyaline-like cartilage repair tissue based on arthroscopic, histologic and imaging assessment. Positive functional outcomes have been reported at 12 to 48 months post-implantation, but future work is required to assess long-term outcomes with respect to other treatment modalities.

Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Articular cartilage defects are a common problem in joints. As articular cartilage has a limited intrinsic capability for self-repair, their clinical treatment remains problematic as none of the current therapeutic options can regenerate adult cartilage and prevent the development of osteoarthritis (OA) over the long term. Treatments based on therapeutic gene vectors typically involve approaches based on the intraarticular delivery of gene vectors or of genetically modified cells, sometimes via biocompatible materials. This review highlights the current state of gene therapy strategies for cartilage repair. Keywords: Cartilage repair; gene therapy; tissue engineering Received: 11 October 2018; Accepted: 07 November
